ONE Fight Night 14 just took place Friday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and featured no fewer than three title fights.
In the co-main event, Muay Thai strawweight champion Smilla Sundell just clashed with atomweight champion Allycia Rodrigues.
The significantly taller Swede had her foot on the gas from the start and rocked her opponent in the first round with a clean left hook. Both fighters held a furious pace during the second round, where Rodrigues found her mark as well, landing a big check hook.
In the third round, Sundell showed why she’s one of the best strikers on planet Earth, as she stopped Rodrigues with a furious barrage of punches and elbows to retain the women’s strawweight Muay Thai belt.
AND STILL!

Now, the historic champion finally defended her belt.
”It was great, it was also a dream coming true, ”Sundell said after the fight. ”So yeah, I can’t wait to do it again.”
